We generalize the ham sandwich theorem to d +1 measures on R-d as follows. Let mu(1), mu(2),..., mu(d+1) be absolutely continuous finite Borel measures on R-d. Let omega(i) = mu(i) (R-d) for i is an element of [d + 1], omega = min{omega(i) : i is an elemen ...
A key problem in emerging complex cyber-physical networks is the design of information and control topologies, including sensor and actuator selection and communication network design. These problems can be posed as combinatorial set function optimization ...
Local minutiae descriptors such as Minutia Cylinder-Code (MCC) are becoming more popular in modern fingerprint matching systems. The matching performance depends a lot on the fingerprint image quality in global and local levels. Rejecting part of the lowes ...
We improve and simplify the minimization method for solitary waves in two cases: firstly, when the surface tension is weak (that is, the Bond number is < 1/3) and the depth is finite, and secondly, when the depth is infinite. In a previous work on the firs ...
Suppose we have randomized decision trees for an outer function f and an inner function g. The natural approach for obtaining a randomized decision tree for the composed function (f∘ gⁿ)(x¹,…,xⁿ) = f(g(x¹),…,g(xⁿ)) involves amplifying the success probabili ...

Let C be a family of n convex bodies in the plane, which can be decomposed into k subfamilies of pairwise disjoint sets. It is shown that the number of tangencies between the members of C is at most O(kn), and that this bound cannot be improved. If we only ...
We propose a novel method for constructing wavelet transforms of functions defined on the vertices of an arbitrary finite graph. We define a notion of scaling using the graph analogue of the Fourier domain, namely the space of eigenfunctions forming the sp ...
We consider the homogeneous and the non-homogeneous convex relaxations for combinatorial penalty functions defined on support sets. Our study identifies key differences in the tightness of the resulting relaxations through the notion of the lower combinato ...
For integers n >= s >= 2 let e (n, s) denote the maximum of vertical bar F vertical bar, where F is a family of subsets of an n- element set and F contains no s pairwise disjoint members. Half a century ago, solving a conjecture of Erd. os, Kleitman determ ...
Integrating functions on discrete domains into neural networks is key to developing their capability to reason about discrete objects. But, discrete domains are (I) not naturally amenable to gradient-based optimization, and (II) incompatible with deep lear ...
